The female dispatcher assured the teen that a K-9 unit was on the way. She then advised the girl that authorities had arrived, and that she should stay where she was until the deputies had reached her.

"I'm just kind of scared to be honest," the teen responded.

Shortly after, the deputies were able to get to her, she reported to the dispatcher. The teen thanked the woman before hanging up the phone.

"She's a great example of...staying calm, remaining on the phone with the 911 dispatcher," Lt. Jeff Hallock with the Sheriff's Department said. "In her case, she felt comfortable hiding inside the closet, which was an excellent decision on her part.

"But she provided enough information for the deputies to respond quickly. They got there and ultimately detained and arrested the suspects," he said.

Investigators believed the juveniles were possibly connected to other burglaries and thefts in the area.
